STATE FORECAST:IDQ10700 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Queensland Queensland State Forecast Issued at 4:30 pm EST on Friday 19 April 2024 for the period until midnight EST Friday 26 April 2024. Warning Information For latest warnings go to www.bom.gov.au, subscribe to RSS feeds, call 1300 659 210* or listen for warnings on relevant TV and radio broadcasts. Weather Situation A trough extends over the far northern Peninsula and Gulf of Carpentaria with a weak embedded tropical low located over the far northern waters. The tropical low will drift westward into the Arafura Sea over the weekend, weakening the trough and easing the shower activity across Far North Queensland. A large high pressure system moving east over the Great Australian Bight, will strengthen a ridge across the west and north of the state over the next few days. A significant upper low and trough may enhance rainfall for parts of southeastern and central Queensland over the weekend and into early next week. A low pressure system may also form off the east coast later in the weekend because of this upper feature, and lead to increasing wind and swells along parts of the central and southern Queensland coast. Forecast for the rest of Friday 19 April Isolated showers in eastern districts, tending scattered to widespread with localised moderate falls possible about the northeast tropical coast north of Port Douglas. The chance of a thunderstorm in Far North Queensland north of Cairns. Mostly clear in western and southern interior Queensland. Light to moderate northeast to southeast winds, tending south to southeasterly about the southwest of the state. Forecast for Saturday 20 April Isolated to scattered showers about the tropical east coast and adjacent inland, tending widespread with a risk of localised moderate falls about the northern Peninsula. Cloudy with scattered to widespread showers and areas of rain developing over parts of central and southeastern Queensland south of about St Lawrence, with some moderate rainfall accumulations possible. The chance of thunderstorms over the Peninsula and in eastern districts between Hervey Bay and St Lawrence. Mostly sunny in western Queensland, partly cloudy in the southern interior with the chance of showers near the New South Wales Border. The chance of early morning fog inland in southeastern and central Queensland. Light to moderate south to southeasterly winds, fresh at times about east coast south of Mackay and near the southern Gulf coast. Maximum temperatures below or well below average in the western, central and southern parts, near average elsewhere. Fire Danger: High for the Gulf Country, North West and Channel Country districts. Forecast for Sunday 21 April Isolated showers about the tropical east coast tending scattered about the northern Cape York Peninsula and Torres Strait.
